So today is Rosh Hashanah -- Jewish New Year and the begining of the year 5770. Last night I cooked up a big meal before we headed off to the temple. (Jewish holidays begin the night before -- think Christmas eve.) I'm particularly proud of the challah I made. It was only my second attempt at challah, and while the first one was edible, it was not amazing. This time it turned out perfectly! In fact Cameron
said it was his favorite part of the meal, which also included Alaskan Halibut. If you know anything about Cameron, you know that's about the highest praise any food can get. If you're interested in making some yummy bread (and even yummier french toast), check out this recipe.
I used the pinwheel braiding technique to make a round challah for Rosh Hashanah (everything is supposed to be round on this holiday to symbolize the cycles of life). I really liked this technique and it gives you the ability to "fold in" extras to the bread like cinnamin and sugar or preserves.
On a side note. We found this short video yesterday, and it made me crack up! It was taken by Seth a couple days before the wedding. Enjoy!

I just watched that video twice in a row and was sitting in my office cracking up! I totally forgot about that!
